OBDEKS REGARDING CONTROL FORMS. 183 



6. The control forms are not accounts forms, they are maintain- 

 ed merely for the purpose of control. Trees marked for felling form 

 part of the yield, whether they are cut by the contractor or not is 

 of no material Consequence, consequently the entries in the control 

 forms should be made direct from the auction lists and should show 

 trees marked for felling and sold. Whether the contractor finishes 

 his work in the year prescribed or is given an extension of time is 

 of no consequence for the purpose of control. In order to compare 

 the numbers of trees actually felled by the contractor with the 

 numbers marked, an entry should be made in the remarks column 

 of the forms giving the number of trees or volume actually felled 

 by the contractor together with a note stating what is being done 

 with the unfelled balance. Where fellings are still incomplete on 

 31st March, a remark to this effect should be made as follows. 

 " Fellings in progress and the full details will be entered in next 

 years form." All trees sold or felled departmentally or given free 

 or felled by rightholders in any one year as may be specifically 

 ordered in the chapter " Control " appear in the control forms. 

 Trees must be shown according to the girth or diameter classes 

 used in the plan and their volume calculated accordingly. Petty 

 fellings outside the area prescribed for felling during the year need 

 not be shown. 



7. The special circumstances of each division are dealt with in 

 the chapter " Control " of the working plan and the instructions 

 given therein are to be implicitly followed. Deviations from the 

 prescriptions of a plan, alteration of years of felling, excess fellings 

 over the limit prescribed, require the previous sanction of the 

 Chief Conservator and the authority for such deviations should be 

 noted in the remarks column of the form. The volumes to be 

 entered in control forms are the volumes used for the purpose of 

 the calculation of the yield. The actual volumes used for calculat- 

 ing guaranteed outturn have nothing to do with the volumes to be 

 shown in the control forms. 



8. The actual yield of any compartment is entered up in the 

 compartment history when this information becomes available.
